A meeting of the Virginia Farmers

A meeting of the Virginia Farmers
has been called at Charlottesville on
Monday, July 4th to consider wheth-
er or not action shall be taken by the
farmers as body, in the next legisla-
tive campaign. 1t is expected that
the attendance will be large and AMI.
mated discussions will not be impro-
bable. From certain outgivings it
looks as if the agriculturists might be
in dead earnest next fall. Their in
tercsts have been so shamefully neg.
lected by recent Legislatures, that it
is time they were looking ont for
number one, and trying the expert.
ment Of ballots instead of petitions.

THE PHIL. TIMES ON THE JUBILEE.

Only the Irish subjects of Eng
lands Queen had no reason to join
in her jubilee. To them she had al
ways been as stranger, and her
governments had never treated
them kindly. Her jubilee year, If
not the year of their greatest oppres-
sion in her name was the year in
which oppression was the least
excusable. There is less crime in
Ireland today than in either Scot
land or England. 10 neither of the
latter has crimes bill been thought
necessary. For part of the year
Scotland is the Queens home. She
has at least taken pains to make the
Scotch feel that they are very near
to her heart. As for the Irish she
shows no concern, and the measure
of oppression which is to follow the
celebration of her jubilee was only
stayed for a few days to allow the
pageantry of yesterday. II Ireland
looked upon these rejoicings as
hollow mockery it was only because
the days before were and the days
after the Queens jubilee are to be
devoted to Ireland's humiliation.
There never was in any nations
history such splendid trifling as Vic
toria's jubilee. 1t was trifling entire.
ly out of harmony with the spirit Of
the age and country in which it &C.
Cured. In England royalty is only
a tradition. If it is to be preserved it
can only be as a tradition. That
tradition would have been streng.
thened if the jubilee had been a jubi-
lee indeed. There can be. no jubilee
when it marks the year when the
shackles of a whole people are forged
anew. When the delirium of this
hour has passed away the masses in
England will contend for Ireland and
themselves as if there had never
been kings and queens-as if there
was no Queen Victoria.

AN OPEN LETTER.
HAGERSTowN, June IS, 1887.
MESSRS. EDITORS OF THE HERALD.
MARTINsBURG, w. VA.

GENTLEMEN We want to thank you
for publishing paper, through the
columns of which, we can reach many
persons with information of profit and
value to them, as well as of importance
to ourselves; we want to say to the
readers of your paper that,we would as
soon stop bookkeeping as to stop keep
ing our name and business constantly
before their eyes.
THIRTY-FIvE YEARS EXPERIENCE
in storekeeping and manufacturing, sue
cessfully increasing each and every
year of that period, has settled the ques-
ton that the four leading features with
which we started out and have steadily
held fast to, are the main points to which
we owe our success. As we have never
kept them
SECRET
we tell them to your readers:
list. Keep the goods the people want.
End. Let the people know it.
3rd. Make the prices to please the peo-
pie,
4th. Give the people all the attention,
accommodations, conveniences and COM
forts that are known to modern store
keeping.
IF WE HAVEN'T
what the people want there can be no
business between us. If we have what
the people want, at half the price they
pay for it elsewhere, and the people
don't know it, it is all the same. there is
no business between us. That's the
reason why we are constantly in the
newspapers making every effort,
TO PUMP INTO
the readers of your paper the fact that
we have articles they want, and will sell
them for as little money, and nine times
out of ten, for less money than they pay
elsewhere, not excepting the big stores
in the big cities. that we aim to under
sell.
EVERYTHING.
That word means something-big
that's it; applied to our business, il
means that we keep everything males
and females wear from birth to death
either in ready-made garments, or ma
terials out of which to make them, lex
cept ladies hats and bonnets.)
Our store-room is 220 feet long and 81
feet wide. 1t is chuck full OF goods
There are six departments of articles fol-
female wear and six departments Of
articles for male wear, with Thousands
of other necessary acticles for the parlor
sitting-room dining-room and genera
purposes.
IN CONCLUSION.
We thank those of your readers wht
have visited our stores, and invite one
and all to come whenever convenient, il
for no other purpose than to see tbs
styles and prices.
Samples will be sent by mail to thost
who write for them. Yours truly,
UPDEGRAFFS,

/ WASHINGTON, Oct %. --Nilnam ID. Hay
ME, of the First Assistant Postmaster Cen
erals office, said in an interview to-day:
There is very little competition in fourth
( class post offices now. OF about 50, 600 such
Offices, about 81, 600 have changed hands
under the present administration. Mi.
Haynie added that, generally speaking, the
most desirable offices had changed hands,
but that there were still quite a number Of
paying offices in the hands of the Old incum-
bents 1t is a remarkable fact that many
fourth class post offices which used to pay
the postmasters from $50 to 500 a quarter,
do not pay the present incumbent more than
One-tenth Of that revenue. The reason is
that the new Democratic postmasters
charge, apparently, Just what their business
entities them TO, whereas their Republican
predecessors charged just as much as they
thought they could get from the profigate
Republican administration.
The department" said Chief Clerk Ray,
has very frequently to send out an in

Gus falling off in the postal business, as in
